President Biden’s pledge to install offshore wind across almost the entire US coastline, in the next eight years, will require unprecedented cross-sector integration. Rapidly scaling this renewable energy source entails the interlinking of previously separate parts, processes, skills, and project partners – from sectors as diverse as oil and gas, hydrogen, and batteries. This is a particularly significant challenge, as the US domest....
The clean energy sector exhibits a sunny outlook, poised for acceleration. Renewables are set to account for almost 95 percent of the increase in global power capacity through 2026, with solar PV alone providing more than half. Global solar PV installations are projected to see over 20 percent growth in 2022, surpassing the 200 GWdc barrier for the first time. This is necessitating an exponential increase in&nbs....
Pitch bearings, also known as blade bearings, connect the wind turbine blade root to the turbine rotor hub. The blade bearings allow the blade position to be optimized at various stages of operation. This includes optimized angle of attack to control drivetrain load, usually to maximize output. In other words, properly functioning pitch bearings are critical to maximize productivity of wind tubine generators (WTGs). In recent years, the ....
As the world is moving towards sustainability and energy independence, so too is building architecture. As architecture begins to change to incorporate these values, we are more frequently seeing net-zero buildings and green building rating systems, such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). In parallel, commercial buildings and homes are becoming smarter. This has opened the way towards managing energy in a more efficient mann....
